Interesting Facts

The first reference to a Cosmopolitan Cocktail appeared in the 1934 book, Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars: 1903-1933. The modern version of the drink shot to fame as the lead character's favourite cocktail in the TV show Sex & The City.

History of the Drink

The original pink drink, this pretty concoction is believed to have originated in New York in the 1970s or 80s, with many claims to the origins of the recipe. The cocktail gained mass popularity in the 1990s, where pop culture references such as the Sex in the City TV franchise cemented its cult status . Consisting of vodka, orange liqueur, cranberry juice, and freshly squeezed lime juice, this sweet yet tart cocktail is a show-stopper served in a martini glass, with a contrasting orange peel to help its pink hues pop.
